2009 Dodge Truck Month Celebrates the All-New Ram 1500

March is Dodge Truck month and the all-new Ram is something to celebrate.  Although there are some concerns about the financial future of Chrysler Corporation, there is no question that they are building great products that people like a lot.  The 2009 Dodge Ram is one such vehicle.  It and its industry first-and-only RamBox™ cargo management system that includes versatile, weatherproof, lockable, illuminated, drainable storage bins continue to win award after award. The list is large but here are some examples:

Automotive Journalist Association of Canada – Best New Pickup Truck
MotorWeek’s Best Pickup Award,
Car and Driver’s Best Full Size Pickup
Consumer Guide – Large Pickup – Best Buy for 2009
Cars.com – Work Truck of the Year
ICOTY – 2009 International Truck of the Year

After extensive testing and voting by Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) members in October, the 2009 Dodge Ram took first place on Canada’s pickup podium. This left its sole competitor, the ‘also-new-for-2009′ Ford F150 to take a back-seat at second place.
The 2009 Dodge Ram took first place on Canada’s pickup podium. Faced with die-hard brand devotion and tough competition from offshore products and proven homegrown steel, Dodge decided to step up the Ram for its latest revision in a big way. They’ve spared no expense to do it- and their efforts are very proudly displayed in the Ram’s new sheet-metal.

Slick looks
Two-tone paint, alloy wheels, fog-lamps, fender flares and bountiful chrome jazzed up the “Laramie” tester, which wore a body visually leaps out, even when parked. Factory dual-outlet exhaust looks great, as does the integrated tailgate spoiler and near life-sized Ram-head logo.  Ram’s great new face clears the highway fast lane like a muscle-sedan- though given gas prices lately, this isn’t a major concern for most buyers.

Yep, it’s got a HEMI
The automaker’s range-topping 5.7 liter HEMI V8 powered the tester. It’s been re-tuned and revised this year to develop 390 horsepower while using about 4 percent less fuel than the previous engine.
The HEMI is happy to loaf around under 2000 RPM, with highway mileage averaging about 15L/100km at real-life speeds during winter driving. That’s not exactly thrifty- but within limits for a machine with such intentions.  Just be sure you need the power offered by this engine, as smaller options are available that should turn in less than the 18L / 100km consumption figure I averaged over some 2000 kilometers.

Chrysler Happy to Keep GEM

Posted May 7th 2008 8:42AM by Sebastian Blanco Filed under: EV/Plug-in , Chrysler , GEM , NEV (Neighborhood Electric Vehicle)

GEM vehicles certainly aren’t flashy. They don’t go more than 25 mph, they look kind of goofy, and they’re stuffed with old-fashioned lead acid batteries. In fact, GEM vehicles embody the “golf cart aesthetic” more than any other NEVs that regularly make an appearance on our little blog here. Still, there’s something worth noting about Global Electric Motorcars: it’s the Chrysler brand/subsidiary that has growing sales. Automotive News (subs req’d) has a good story that takes a look at how Chrysler is benefiting due to keeping the GEM subsidiary following the Daimler-Chrysler split last year. GEM has sold 37,000 Neighborhood Electric Vehicles since getting started in 1998 and, while the company doesn’t announce sales figures, the company is profitable. With Chrysler trying to gin up sales through gas price gimmicks , it’s good to see that these zero-emission niche vehicles are going strong. The potential for Chrysler to move GEM from the NEV category into a company that builds vehicles that are capable of higher speeds exists, particularly through Chrysler’s ENVI . A GEM Zeo , anyone?
